This important book codified and published the lectures doctrines and observations of Laurent Biett 1781-1840 the leading clinical teacher in dermatology of the early 19th century who published very little himself. Piere Louis Alphée Cazenave 1795-1877 was a pupil and successor of Biett. He wrote this textbook with Henry Edouard Schedel 1804-1856 on behalf of his teacher. They describe the skin diseases according to Willan's system with numerous improvements and extensions. They did not follow the system of Alibert. Cazenave was a master clinician who founded the first scientific periodical devoted exclusively to dermatology. The Abrégé improves upon Bateman especially in the section on the cutaneous manifestions of syphilis. "Continually revised and translated into all important languages of the Western World the Abrégé became the most influential text of the time and remained so for 30 years."
